occasion, he invited a challenge by belittling their exploits, and
when challenged by the chief, fearlessly proposed, as a wager, the
life of one against the other. This was accepted, and the chief had
the first trial. His spear hit the stem of the huge tree and made

might start on his travels. Kalelealuaka took with him, as travelling
companion, a mere lad named Kaluhe, and embarked in his canoe. With
